The right to mental health 2017, para. 36
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The right to mental health includes both immediate obligations and requirements to take deliberate, concrete, targeted action to progressively realize other obligations. States must use appropriate indicators and benchmarks to monitor progress, including in respect of reducing and eliminating medical coercion. Indicators should be disaggregated by, among others, sex, age, race and ethnicity, disability and socioeconomic status. States must devote the maximum available resources to the right to health, yet globally, spending on mental health stands at less than 10 per cent of spending on physical health.
